Pho RATING.

Experience teaches. The pro
rating plan drew out at every pre-
cinct the largest crowd We have
had in many a dag Each wiliss
voter, conhdeut that his vote
would 60 for exactly what il was
worth, went to the polls and cast
Il aud no one can dispute thr fair
ness OF the pIan.
However. many complain, and
justly, OF the inconvenience. The
counting takes an Interminable
time and when many votes are
cast Is very hard piece OF work.
The result simply shows this. In
inture adopt pro rating only as
first choice. 1t would reduce TO
the least the chances Of trading.
Would enable every candidate 10
60 into the convention with his
snll strength, as between NIL the
candidates. and would give salts
faction. Alter sitting up until
after three O'Clock al night count
ing ballots aud then not getting
through, the HERALD endorses
pro rating, but not system that
takes such time. All the good
can be accomplished with second
choice left out.
